I am all for figuring out what is going on here. So lets blacklist these and see how this goes. Maybe there are only two bad platforms out there and we are making too much fuzz about this. Before we added quirks in the USB core these platforms were just plain broken as well. So not much different situation than before. We need to push the DMI blacklisting back into -stable as well and that means any impact of a 3rd broken platform briefly working and then be broken again is slim and also fixable via -stable.

Thanks, that is a good question. His problems only started when I
enabled usb-autosuspend by default for btusb devices and he got things
working by adding "btusb.enable_autosuspend=n" on the kernel commandline,
so he was not hitting the firmware loading race introduced by
fd865802c66b and runtime suspend/resume is really broken for him.

Right I think we all agree that the new plan now is to go back to
QCA behaving normally wrt (runtime) suspend/resume and then set the
USB-core RESET_RESUME quirk (which does not have the firmware
loading race) based on a DMI blacklist.

I only have the one report for which I will write a patch implementing
this new policy soonish. And Kai-Heng Feng has another report which
might even be the machine. I certainly would not be surprised if it
is another Lenovo machine.
